How to be master of your domains

Abstract

Prepare a two-species BEC in a perfectly phase-mixed state. By applying Rabi drives, one can tune the range of wavelengths of phase-separating excitations that are dynamically unstable. Yada yada yada, this determines the characteristic sizes of the eventual spin domains. The trapping potential is neglected because it makes life hard, but of course this is a terrible approximation, and the results are of only inspirational value. Since this is thus a rather trivial calculation, the very modest increase in kudos that might accrue from journal publication does not seem to outweigh the grief of having to change the title.
